What if breathing were like a “brain reading”? Each has their own respiratory digital impression-and this can help us predict disease.
“It would be thought that breathing has already been measured and analyzed in every way,” says neuroscientist Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science to “However, we discovered a completely new way of looking at breathing. We consider it as one brain reading“.
A team of scientists discovered, after equipping people with a device that monitors their nasal breathing, which Our respiratory pattern is as unique as a fingerprint. Data analysis revealed sufficiently detailed patterns so that researchers could identify individuals with 96.8%accuracy.
O published in Current Biology This week it used a device that monitors and accurately records airflow through each user’s nostril. From the following, the investigators took 97 participants in the study of using the device for a maximum of 24 hours.
“The idea of using an individual’s breathing pattern as a unique signature has been discussed for decades in the respiratory scientific community. Singularity of each person When it measures different people, ”he reveals Soroka, who also participated in the study.
“However, so far, there was no convenient way to measure it. The development of a small dressing device capable of recording for long periods of time allowed us to measure 100 participants for 24 hours. This, in turn, allowed it to be allowedS present the concept in a much more convincing way“.
The next step, however, will be the application of this investigation to the diagnosis, explains Soroka. “We can learn as specific breathing patterns PODEM PREVENTING VARIOUS DISEASES“, He says.” But of course, in the future, we will examine if we can also treat diseases by modifying respiratory standards. “
